Higgins fumes at training travel ban

DUAL ace Keith Higgins has hit out at the GAA’s ban on Mayo footballers’ proposed training trip to Portugal.

Team boss John O’Mahony and his players were due to fly out to the Algarve on Sunday, and get in six days of training before returning home tomorrow week.

But following a letter from Croke Park to all counties regarding the rules applying to such training trips, Mayo have decided to stay at home to prepare for their Connacht Championship joust with Sligo on June 5, at Markievicz Park.
